My first experience with the classic Trabant was in the 60s at Palisades Amusement Park in Fort Lee NJ . It was a new ride back in 1965 and was advertised as a new ride that "dips, dives and scoots".It has always been my all time favorite flat ride and remains so even today in my late 60s.
cool video what a colourful trabant i love the trabant its my favorite type of ride i cried when the butlins in minehead got rid of their trabant it was my top favorite ride i rode on it more than any other ride in the funfair
So would I even though I'm not a kid anymore. In July 1971, I got on 3 different versions of this same ride. In Houston's Astroworld amusement park, it was the wagon wheel. In Dallas/Ft. Worth (Arlington) 6 Flags over Texas, it was El Sombrero (Spanish for the hat). Finally at a small traveling carnival in Laredo, it was a portable version that fit in a trailer Casino/Trabant. Those were great times & new beginning for me.
Yeah it looks brill and I love how it takes a wee while to get started.. anticipation 😱..yeah and what lovely weather on that day.. shame I was at work.. meh!

Incredible to see one run at speed. Nobody runs them like this anymore.
Remember going on this type of ride at Bogner Regis Butlins many years ago.
Great memories from the 80s Mexican hat and chair o planes toto playing in the background
Love these rides shame you don't see much of them no more very nice machine aswell
This is the same ride the kids from The Sandlot rode!
Awesome Ride
This definitely reminds me of the Sandlot, but there's no Tequila song
That is a fast Trabant.
How Many Sounds Can We Do In One Ride? -Ride Operator-
Stunning looking tribant that
It's the most colourful Trabant and best example of any in the UK and it's really fast.

John Sadly this is up for sale too.
Hopefully a well known showman in England will buy it so I can keep on seeing it
Does the ride operator said scream if you want to go faster
Classic, the only thing I didn't care for was that "noise" playing in the background.
Great Trabant Ride Video!!!! F+L, Corey
This rides at birstall now
Is this the same as Cyclone Sams at worlds of fun?
Smashing, that looks like my kids on there, lol Dopplegangers? Hehe
cute little carny bear.
sad that WipeOuts are replacing many of them
Yes, I miss trabants with multi colored cars
What does "trabant" meat in Spanish?
I speak Spanish and I’ve never heard that word
The word is derivative of a German word meaning “Satellite”
I understand why they threwup
Dare someone to chew tobacco while riding that very ride.
